![]() ![]() You can also pull the balance shafts from the K (balance shafts do not negate harmonics felt by the crank bearings, only those felt by the motor mounts and driver) while you're at it. Basically, anything is going to weigh more than a 1.9.īut as you mentioned.if you're swapping the AC is gone (if you want) and the battery can be moved. ![]() I bet a K and ecotec are similar in weight as both have a split crankcase block design with a rather tall head (pretty good ports). The difference in weight is not hugely significant as all the above engines are alloy head/block. I believe the K series weighs a bit more than the B.which is a bit more than the D (exact numbers escape me). 166 LB-FT NA.and it's basically dead flat from just above idle to red line. It might produce a faster car than a K20/K20A2 in finitely fun around town (should pull like crazy in all gears regardless of speed). Nevermind that it will be more reliable, quieter, and yield milage at least as good as the NA DOHC 1.9 gets (probably into the 40 MPG range in all honesty). The response characteristics of a 260 horse NA k series should blow the doors off most turbo 1.9 saturns in the 300 (crank) HP range. nothing but oil changes and new plugs for 200,000 miles). Hondata ECU and some good manifolding on either side of a bone stock K series long block will yield damn near 260 HP at the crank.with stock honda reliability (e.g. That said.If I were going to go to the trouble of swapping out the 1.9.and the expense of getting custom axles made, I'd put the best 4 banger I could get my hands on in there. In the case of 1.9 to ECOTEC I don't believe either is the case (neither transmission or axles will work at all). In 's not hard to swap any of the following:ĤAGE NA, 4AGZE supercharged, 4AGE 20 valve, 5SFE NA, 3SGE NA, 3SGTE Turbo, C50/C52 5 speed, C56 5 speed, C60 6 speed, C160 6 speed, E51 5 speed.blah blah blah. Etc etc.it's like expensive legos.but they are much cheaper than custom legos. OR.one can swap a 6 speed onto their 4AGE by switching out the bell housing and using axles out of a Mark 2. The main advantage of staying within the same MFR when doing a swap is transmission bellhousings match and axle splines match.sometimes.įor example.in the Mark1 MR2 world.one can swap any 4AGE using stock mounts and the original transmission.or one can swap a 3SGTE using modified mounts, and a new bellhousing, or a Mark2 transmission and Mark2 axles (they are the proper length and have the right splines for the hubs). ![]()
